Filled Map wrong country code mapping

Hi MichalKlos 

The Location field of the filled map needs to meet the following requirements. You can try the following types: South Korea/Seoul.

Hi, thank you for quick reply.

It works correctly for every other country ISO 2-letter code (such as US, DE, FR, JP ... ).

Still Country code mapping is wrong when I try to highlight entire country Slovakia. Map shows SK as Korea and it should Slovakia. ( https://countrycode.org/slovakia )

I tried SK/Bratislava in the Country field but it is not recognized.

Maybe I can apply a workaround? If SK is seen (incorrectly) as Korea, then what is the utilized (currently wrong) ISO code for Slovakia that I could temporarily use before it's fixed?

Is there a list of accepted 2-letter country codes ?

Kind Regards

Hi MichalKlos 

As stated in the following documentation: 

Map data can be ambiguous. When you supply Bing with only one column of data, such as for the city name, Bing might not distinguish data for one city location from another of the same name.If your semantic model already contains latitude and longitude data, Power BI has special fields to help make the map data unambiguous. You can drag the field that contains your latitude data onto the Latitude section on the Visualizations > Build visual pane. You can use this same approach for your longitude data.

Create and use filled maps (choropleth maps) in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn.

You can place the corresponding latitude and longitude in the visual so that it is correctly recognized.
